Absolutely. Although the external hard drive I've got is only a 5400rpm, and you can really tell. Admittedly it's only 40gb (it's a laptop drive with a USB adaprot on the box) and a few years old, but it was slow even then.

And the extra 70, or 270, if you really need it could come from an extra external HD I suppose.

Short answer, yes they do. You'll notice the difference between the two when you're using them. I'd go for the 250 myself, unless you need those extra 70gb...

A 320GB HD @ 5200RPM or a 250GB HD @ 7200RPM? Do the rpms make a huge difference in data transfer?
